Seems Like The Holidays Are Right On Top Of Each Other

If you walk through any shopping malls or stores it may be a little less graphic than this huge black Halloween spider and this large vintage stuffed Rudolph, but we still stand er, uh, behind the statement.

Great (White) Unicorn Hope For Halloween

Whatever you’re dressing up as this Halloween, eBay wants you to share your costume on Facebook and enter for a chance to win one of fifteen $100 eBay Gift Cards! Winners will be selected at random every day from now until October 31. Of course, they want you to check out their Halloween page too. But I say check out what I’m selling on eBay — certainly part of your $100 shopping spree can be spent with me.

There Might Just Be A Reason For The Masks

We don’t always wish to be remembered for our costumes… Would you be proud to discover your ancestor in this vintage Halloween photo, circa 1920s? Wouldn’t you prefer to remain ignorant to grandpa in blackface? I’d prefer he was the gas-mask wearing guy. But never ever the horn-playing clown. I’m fine, however, with cross-dressing grandma. I have plenty of those in my family tree. (I’m pretty sure I posted pics of that somewhere… But I couldn’t find them, even with Google’s help. Bummer.)

Everybody Loves A Cow Girl

If this vintage cow girl costume doesn’t make you wanna play dress up (for Halloween or otherwise), I doubt little will.

I’m pretty sure there will be witnesses who remember her committing this train robbery.

Great for rounding up cattle — and pugs.

Now that I’ve sold you on how practical this is, let’s get down to some facts… It’s said to be a 1950s burlesque costume — though with the Marie’s Custom Uniforms label maybe it was an equally cool, in my opinion, diner waitress uniform. The gun holster is from the 70s and the pistol a new prop.

Now that you’re packin’ heat, may I interest you in a duel with a pistol blow dryer?
